Should NASA have bombed moon?? - Page 2

In the end, Les, what it shows is that the public will believe anything it's told by the media and that neither have any knowledge of reality, let alone science. No wonder stuff like creationism and the like have such a following. Give someone hard facts and they won't believe you, but tickle their fantasies and they'll follow you like a mindless fool.

Well personally I think there has been a conspiracy. A massive conspiracy. They told us we would see something and we never did. You know what I reckon. I reckon all those earlier pics we saw of the moonscape ground zero was really the back lot of some movie studio getting ready to simulate an impact only someone forgot to call action.

Les asked.........

Isn't that putting the cart before the horse Alex?

Surely there is no point in sending an extremely expensive mission to quantify the water present, before we know whether there is any water at all in the first place?

Why would they go to all the expense of planning mission like that when there isn't any evidence yet that it's required? This was a very cheap (in context) way to find out whether Di-Hydrogen Monoxide or Hydrogen Monoxide was present.

I would think given the propositions as to what it may be used for I feel something past the current mission could have been considered.
If however no propositions as to future use were on the table and it therefore a matter of simply determining if water is there then thinking about the future would be irrelevant and the mission ticked up to simply knowing more about the Moon.
I was not suggesting a lander over the impact mission but simply wondered if they have a plan based on a positive outcome.

Excellent, Harvey Norman is offering 3 years interest-free finance: hello 62" plasma in every room!! They'll never collect!!

With the threats from Commies, Russkies, G***s, Ayl-eeuns, Eye-Ranians, Eye-rakkies and possibly the French, all having come to little, Tom & Tess of the trailor park need something to get het-up about.
And just as a matter of course, what crystal-stroking, godess-dancing, spirit-walking, New-Age chiliast can possibly resist a bit of retributive armageddon?
It wouldm't bother me so much, but these people are allowed to VOTE!!!!

On alot of the news channels they said Nasa bombing moon and a animation of a big white flash so i guess they kinda stuffed up there

renormalised (Carl) · #28 12-10-2009, 08:11 PM

We can't win, Les. No matter what we say, people will just keep on believing what they want. Best to just let them go and keep on believing. Once they realise the error of their ways and beliefs, they'll figure out we must have had something factual to say. If they do something stupid because of their beliefs, that'll be their fault and responsibility. Just so long as they don't affect everyone else in the process.

Maybe we could use this as a pretex for war and enslave all the Moon people

Well I am going to sue NASA... they took out my newest proposed Moon subdivision...lots 235 thru to 367 all gone.

mmm new business ..insure your Moon land against NASA bombardment...yes it is an ill wind that blows no good.

Alex,

You might also want to consider that if the bombardment did in fact release H2O to the surface your 2 lots might have been transformed to waterfront by now. Might indeed have been a blessing in disguise

Esseth (Alan) · #32 12-10-2009, 08:49 PM

I saw people debating this, some people concernded it's going to knock the moon off its axis.... does a bug hitting your windshield make your car bounce off the road?

I'm assuming there the same people that think the LHC is going to create backholes that will suck in the earth...

Gallifreyboy · #33 12-10-2009, 09:33 PM

I'm outraged that no environmental impact study was circulated before this abom(b)ination. Imagine how many endangered species could be affected by this action not to mention climate change. I support the formation of an action group. Moon Obliteration Radical Operational Network Scheme (MORONS for short)

"Eminent Domain" I'm afraid sir, all for the "greater good" as I'm sure you understand. Now if sir wishes to make a claim for compensation, sir will need to fill out forms 23C, 12A, 104B(a) and 1008(c,g,r). And the planning commitee will take it under advisement.
But please be advised that the civil action group M.O.R.O.N.S. has filed a pre-emptive motion seeking the site to be designated as an (Off) World Heritage Site.

Cant believe we let them blow up the moon

astroron (Ron) · #36 12-10-2009, 10:31 PM

Jen · #37 12-10-2009, 10:49 PM

Fred I need you on the team...
You see opportunity when I see problems ...mmm al of a sudden I can see all the water lapping around the crator edges.

Sadly one could advertise .."water front land on the Moon ... did you not hear about the water mission etc.... and how many would buy sight unseen.... and worse still even as I joke about this you can bet someone is out there still selling Moon blockes...water front ...ring and ask...I bet you are promised one..just send the money....

Back to reality... all is good... have they found anything yet...
